superooo Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Can anyone hook me up with gd's? Specifically the wiring section. I have mune stripped and i have a write up but its pretty vague, so any help appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superooo Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 I have wires that run out to these two plugs, do these plug in or am i just taking a couple of the wires connected to them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhelme Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 The first one is the diagnostic plug and you do nothing with it just leave it as is do not remove. The other two pictures are to dark to make out what it is. If you PM me with an email address I think I have a copy of GD's write up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superooo Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Thank you, the write up i have says the dealer test plug can go, and part of the problem i ran into was the car i sourced from was auto digi dash and c/c, and my write up is for one from a standard so he didnt cover those plugs, ive mad some progress since last night, but still want to see gds write up, his write ups make sense to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superooo Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 This is wwhere im at, guessing i leave the line end test plug since its not in the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhelme Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I left mine in place so that I can plug in my Snap On scanner for diagnostics. Makes it much easier to track problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superooo Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 Very nice, youre referring to the line end test plug? Or the othe dealer plug that i already pulled? I may re-solder that thing back on. So i read on a thread here something about on the a/t harness that there is a wire thats grounded, if you use a manual trans ecu this grounded wire makes it think its an auto, i have a/t harness and ecu, my question is if i cut the wire will it make the ecu think its a manual now or are the two ecus completely different, ill try to look for the thread so i can get the pin number for that wire, if not how has everyone gone about fooling the inhibitor and park switches? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhelme Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I don't know about the ecu because I used it auto to auto so just had to wire for relays. The plug for using a scanner is the one you showed in the first picture above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superooo Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Gotcha, i mustve misunderstood, i thought in gds write up it said, "this just goes to a dealer test plug so it can be removed" ill be soldering that back in i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhelme Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 It isn't all that great to keep. If you have already removed it no problem. You can get most of the same information from the ECM itself but it is easier to read with a scanner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superooo Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 Cool, thanks, now just some final stuff, is there a way to kinda dry test the ecu harness and mani before i try installing in case i need to replace anything on the mani? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhelme Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Not really. Most of us just lay the harness out, install the spfi (or in my case the whole engine ), hook everything up temporarily and try to get it started before tucking in all the wiring.

superooo Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Thanks guys for all your help, going to pull a ecu and harness from a loyale that just hit, its standard, so i have an extra black ecu and harness for this swap, both automatic that id probably let go real cheap...

superooo Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Can any of you guys get me a pinout of the ecu in a 90-92 loyale? Gds swap has the like 85/88 gl stuff but i guess 92 loyale would be different, and im not finding it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhelme Posted July 3, 2016 Share Posted July 3, 2016 If I am not mistaken the pin out is pretty much the same for all of them except the turbo. I do have one for an '89 I could send you if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superooo Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 Ok, cool, i thought it might be different, cause ive read 86-87,88-89,90-92,& 93-94 are all different, and dont need to screw this up again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverhelme Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 There are some differences in things like the plug for the distributor or engine bay plug shapes but I think the ECU plugs are all the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superooo Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Thanks a lot for all of this guys, youve been a huge help. Can i get pictures of the relay boxes you guys used? Like how you did the wiring to them and stuff? I pulled one out an 84 bmw, and cant see how its supposed to work in gds pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
